Chapter 3 3-12 ATP 3-09.02 16 February 2016 INFORMATION FILE 3-55. The operations cell maintains a survey information file of trigonometric lists and extracts of trigonometric lists prepared and issued by NGA and the Corps of Engineers. A record is maintained of field notes and computations on control points established by the supporting FAB, DIVARTY, and BCT FA battalion survey teams. The operations cell submits periodic reports on surveys in progress to adjacent units and any other artillery units operating in the area. ADVANCED FIELD ARTILLERY TACTICAL DATA SYSTEM SURVEY CONTROL POINT DATABASE 3-56. The operations cell must ensure that known control points are entered into the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System SCP database. SCPs in the division area of interest and in the supported unit areas of influence should be entered and updated. The SCP database must be kept current to decrease the possibility of duplicate surveys and to rapidly exchange survey data automatically. DA FORM 5075 3-57. DA Form 5075 is used to quickly identify SCPs. Figures 3-3 and 3-4 (page 3-13) show the use of DA Form 5075. The front of the form (figure 3-3) provides blocks for the following: Control point name and number. Map sheet and series number. Grid and geographic coordinates. Altitude. UTM zone and UTM square. Marking method. Accuracy of the data. Notes. Location diagram. 3-58. The back of the form (figure 3-4) provides blocks for the following: Description of reference points. Sketch of reference points. Distance to reference points. Grid bearing or azimuth to reference point. Methods used in determining horizontal, vertical, and azimuth control. Verification information (unit, preparer, checker, date, and notebook reference).
